The St. Louis Cardinals before the Arizona Cardinals

I could go all the way back to the Chicago Cardinals but I think I’ll stick to the Don Coryell years of the St. Louis Cardinals. Don sure made a difference in St. Louis. His first year they were 3-9-1. After that they won the division twice over the Tom Landry-led Cowboys who were in their prime. What a beginning for the ex-Aztec coach.

After a dismal first year with the Cards, Coryell turned them around. With Jim Hart at QB, Terry Metcalfe at RB and Mel Gray at WR, this was the first 3-headed monster that I can remember.
